Best wishes for a recovery without complications but the rest of the team is going to have to step up big time if we are to avoid another basement year. We will see how good the kids can do, that is for sure.

Here's to a speedy and complete recovery. He must have been really pushing the weights to tear a pectoral, that's usually a football player offseason injury. This plays havoc with the lineup. Not ideal to force feed Nico or McLeod into that role. Maybe Zacha plays in that spot for now?

You know, injuries are gonna happen on the team. Zajac was a guy who never got injured when our center depth was pretty bad

The good thing is that our center depth is very deep with Henrique, Hischier, Zacha and McLeod. It will let the youngsters get more playing time in their natural position along with getting more minutes instead of being sheltered on the 4th line.
